Would mechanically shredding trash before being dumped help?
- pfdietz 8y agoAlso moistening the trash before burial, I think. The gases produce need to be captured and burned, though. All that methane. Interestingly, they also need to be decontaminated of traces of silicon-containing compounds, which can muck up turbines in which they're burned.
- Pinckney 8y agoWon't this lead to a lot of lightweight material (particularly bits of the bags themselves) blowing off the landfill surface before they can be buried?
